Sorry for asking but I dont have a manuel yet. Kinda if possible looking for an ASAP answer.

After watching my engine temps get up to 230F in the early summer heat I decided there is no way I can keep the oil cooler bypassed. I found a shop that fixed my oil cooler. $20.00 YEAHHH.. even the after markets coolers were starting at $150 and up and since I dont yet have a job!!! I was estatic to get it fixed like this.

Anyway... Now I have to have new pressure lines made so I need to remove the lines that are on it. Mann.. dats going to be a PIA. I have less than an inch between the cooler lines and the wall. Oh well..... gotta do what tya gotta do!

What's the procedure for pulling these lines? Do I have to drain all the oil then proceed or just crack the oil filter housing to reduce pressure. This I assume would mean that when removing hoses I loose the oil that was in the housing and hose. This correct?

Thanx in advance...... and since he welded the cooler today instead of me having to wait....... I hope to get working on the hoses today too ... so Im in sorta of an ASAP mode..
